Rebirth of a famous family: Mala's first wife

Chapter 105 Ladies ([-])

On Xiumu's day, Fu Heng really led his family to pay a visit to Cui Shangshu's mansion.

After Cui Duo was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, his official residence was from the first grade, so the mansion he lived in was naturally far from comparable to when he was a servant.Shangshu Mansion is located on a long street in Furongli, and the people nearby are either rich or expensive.There are two big stone lions in front of the gate, but the two vermilion lacquer gates are not often opened, and only four handsome young men guard them.Ordinary guests come in and out through the east and west corner doors.

After the Fu family entered, the sedan chairs of Fu Heng and Junfeng were led eastward to the main hall of the outer courtyard.Fu Junya and Yin Shi followed a few pretty maids to the north, passed the Hanging Flower Gate, and entered the inner courtyard.She glanced at it twice, only to feel that the houses in the corridor where she raised her eyes were all elegant and magnificent, and they were completely different from the elegant and unique courtyard where their family lived.

But she only took two glances, put away all her curiosity, lowered her eyebrows, kept her eyes fixed, and concentrated on walking.Because three years ago, Mr. Su's teaching still rings in my ears: When you enter a strange place, the best thing to do is to stay the same and respond to all changes.You must know that every subtle movement and expression of yours may fall into the eyes of caring people. When you are completely unaware, other people's first impression of you has already been formed.

Fu Junya walked silently, while imagining whether there would be a few pairs of eyes around her secretly observing and judging herself...

She could even feel that her mother, Yin Shi, who had been walking silently in front of her, had her back straighter and her steps more steady than usual, exuding an invisible sense of tension.

Similarly, Caiyu, Qiushi, Qiao'er, and Yan'er, who were walking behind her and holding the New Year's gift, all obeyed her order and held their breath.Therefore, although there are many people in the group, there is no sound, only the rustling of clothes and skirts can be heard.

Not long after, they finally came to a spacious courtyard, which was the square courtyard where Cui Duo's wife, Mrs. Wang, lived.Because it was the New Year's Eve, there were some sage plums and holly planted in the courtyard, and red lanterns were hung, which showed a bit of festiveness.

When Fu Junya was in Jincheng, she heard from her grandmother that Cui Duo's first wife passed away early, and he later married the daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan.This Mrs. Wang was originally an orphan girl in the family, and she was brought up by her uncle and aunt since she was a child. When she married Cui Duo as a continuation, she just wanted to have a stable life for the rest of her life. The official ordered him to order, and he didn't expect that Cui Duo would put her as his first wife first in everything. Although he had made great progress in his official career, there were not many concubines in the house, so that she, a big wife, could be satisfied and respectable.

While sighing for Cui Shangshu's personality, Fu Junya secretly looked at the layout of the courtyard, and recalled her feelings along the way. She only felt that although Cui Shangshu and his wife came from a lonely background, they were also elegant people.In this kind of big mansion, the elegance of that noble family can still be seen everywhere.

At this time, when the maids standing in front of the courtyard saw them coming, they quickly drew up the curtains and said with a smile: "The wife and miss of Fu Langzhong's family are here!" The teeth-pinch vest and the pine green cotton skirt, although in the cold wind, her fingers are slender and she doesn't flinch, she seems to be some decent girl.

Fu Junya followed her mother into the house, and the maids hurried forward to help her and the two of them remove their clothes.Fu Junya naturally let her serve her, smiled and said in a low voice: "Thank you, sister." The two girls raised their heads at the same time and looked at her in surprise, whether it was because of her polite expression or the gentleness of her voice Beautiful.

When she stood still, a group of maids and women surrounded by a penny-year-old woman full of jewels and emerald hair and several thirty-year-old and forty-year-old ladies in Chinese clothes came over.The person at the head, judging by his age and demeanor, is undoubtedly Mrs. Wang.

Yin Shi had already bowed down, and said very respectfully: "My nephew, Fu Yin Shi, has met my third aunt." This is to salute as a relative, so as not to be talked about by outsiders.Mrs. Wang was very satisfied, and said repeatedly: "Good! Good! Good!" She stretched out her hand to help Yin Shi up, held her hand, and looked at her carefully.

Fu Junya bowed down with her mother as early as when her mother saluted.As a junior, she gave an out-and-out gift, and when the elders were talking, she kept quiet and didn't speak.It wasn't until she felt Mrs. Wang's gaze on her that she said calmly, "My nephew and granddaughter, Jun Ya, have met my third uncle and grandma."

"Good! Good! Good!" Mrs. Wang was still full of praise with a smile, and took Fu Junya's hand again and again to look at her again and again. Fang sighed to Yin: "It turns out that my granddaughter is such a lovely woman." People! It's my fault that my master didn't bring you to Beijing earlier, let us see it earlier!" After speaking, he laughed first, and everyone laughed along with him.

The intimacy in Mrs. Wang's words was very obvious, Yin Shi's face immediately lit up, and Fu Junya's face also turned slightly red.

Mrs. Wang also introduced all the people behind her, who turned out to be her daughter-in-law.Fu Junya listened attentively, thinking that two of them seemed to be separated from Mrs. Wang, and they were the wives married by the two sons born to Mrs. Cui's previous wife.But on the big side, they are naturally in harmony, and nothing can be seen.

After meeting with each other for a while, Mrs. Wang ordered someone to watch the seat, and Yin pretended to decline, and then took her daughter to sit carefully in the guest seat.Mrs. Wang ordered to serve tea again, and asked Mrs. Yin if she was used to it when she first arrived in the capital, but if there were other relatives and friends in Beijing, Mrs. Yin answered them one by one.

Seeing that Junya didn't speak much, Mrs. Wang said to the left and right: "A visitor from afar arrived today, and there should be a few more people here to accompany me. It just so happens that the girls are playing at home after school, so I called them out. Let's talk and play tricks with my granddaughter."

"Yes, old lady!" Someone promised, and went to deliver the message.

"That's right, mother!" A young daughter-in-law closest to Mrs. Wang smiled and praised, "Let me tell you, mother and sisters-in-law, take a look, although this child Junya is coming to Beijing for the first time, This appearance is so extraordinary, I would never give it to those girls who grew up in Beijing!"

The other daughters-in-law also echoed: "Siblings are right. We have seen a lot of girls from high families, with a temperament like Jun Ya, and I really can't lose to them at all. This is because Mrs. Yin has raised her well!" ..."

"My sister-in-law is wrong, what kind of high-class and low-class people, in my opinion, a capable minister like Mr. Fu will be able to occupy an important position in a short time, and the child Junya will come from the same background as us. ?”

Fu Junya lowered her head at the right time, looking at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose.In the spirit of being cautious to the end, she can only be humble and humble, low-key and low-key, and try to reduce her sense of existence as much as possible.After all, these words, anyone will feel a bit too much!She thought secretly in her heart, could it be that she has been looked down upon by some people without doing anything, and wants to make a deliberate flattery?Or in other words, this way of speaking with a gun and a stick is originally a major feature of the capital?
Compliments followed one after the other, and high hats followed. Finally, even Mrs. Yin couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up from her seat and said with a little anxiety: "The ladies are really flattering you! I came from the outskirts. When I first arrived in the imperial capital, I still can't tell the difference between east, west and south. I hope the ladies don't think we're vulgar, so I'll raise more points in the future..."

Yin Shi was indeed a little uncomfortable at this time.Ever since she came to the capital and saw the prosperity at the foot of the emperor, she began to worry about her background, for fear that someone would use her natal family's status as a merchant to make an issue.Therefore, even if they didn't say it clearly, she was afraid of being judged with colored eyes, not to mention that people now praised her face-to-face, "Daughter is well-bred"!

Mrs. Wang saw all the bustle in her eyes, pointed at her daughter-in-laws at this time, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's rare for you guys to see a girl who is pleasing to the eye, so it's fine if you like it in your heart. Piansheng is so full of praise, doesn't it scare people? Besides, she is still young, so she can't bear so much."

Although Mrs. Wang was smiling as usual, the daughters-in-law naturally knew that she was unhappy.So they put away all kinds of rich expressions on their faces, and said respectfully: "What mother said is that the daughters-in-law are too happy in their hearts and don't think carefully."

Mrs. Wang nodded, then glanced at Fu Junya intentionally or unintentionally, and said to Yin: "My niece, I think Junya is a pretty good kid, he should be thirteen or fourteen years old this year, okay? People?"

Hearing this, Fu Junya immediately blushed, rubbed the corners of her clothes with her hands, and buried her head even deeper.All the ladies smiled when they saw her distressed appearance.

Yin was a little ashamed and said: "If you go back to the third aunt, this child will be 13 years old this autumn, and it is our parents who want to keep her for two more years, so we haven't said anything about marriage yet."

Mrs. Wang was taken aback for a moment, and then slowly said: "Well, it is most natural for parents to love their children, but life-long events are extraordinary, and decisions should be made early, not child's play."

Fu Junya was listening carelessly, but at this moment she felt that the third uncle's tone was slightly strange, and when she looked up, she found that the expression on Mrs. Wang's face was three points stunned and seven points melancholy, presumably she was thinking of herself What happened in the early years, not only did he not have the love of his parents, but even the marriage had to pick up what was left by others!Because of the unintentional expression at this moment, Fu Junya suddenly had a good impression of this grandmother-level woman.

"The third aunt made a point. For the child to live a good and happy life in the future, I, a mother, will definitely pay attention to it." Yin Shi was obviously also moved, and used a very sincere tone.

Mrs. Wang nodded, and slowly regained that sophisticated smile, and said with deep meaning: "Well, you don't need to worry about this. After all, there are many opportunities in the capital."

Chance?Fu Junya's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt that she couldn't understand the Mrs. Shangshu in front of her.It can only be said that everyone is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
